A few weeks ago, I ended up with a ginormous bag of M&M’s at my house.
I was just minding my own business, doing my own thing, and then suddenly, these M&M’s were taking over. I, of course, was eating them like they were going out of style. You know, as one does.
Here’s the thing: When you have a party bag that has more M&M’s than you’ve ever seen in your entire life, it’s probably a good idea not to eat the entire thing in a week… or even a month.
Chances are, if you’ve visited my house recently, I have attempted to pawn some M&M’s off on you.
“Oh, you want a bag of road M&M’s? OK, sure. Wonderful! Here, let me pack you two because I’m sure someone in your life wants a bag of M&M’s, too.”
That’s the kind of situation we’re in. And it is bad news, even though I love me some M&M’s.
This past weekend, I made M&M Cookies in an attempt to polish off the rest of the candy.
I used this recipe from Pinch of Yum as my inspiration… and proceeded to make the recipe without vegetable shortening. Because shortening, while amazing in baked goods, kind of freaks me out.
It’s simple. It’s delicious. It’s perfect if you have a huge bag of plain M&M’s lying around your house. It’s even perfect if you don’t, and you have to run out to the store to pick up the candy.
The best news? It makes about 6.5 dozen cookies, so it can feed a crowd. (And spoiler alert: The dough is really good, so you can mow down some of those cookie numbers if you indulge in that kind of thing. It also freezes well!)
Here’s how I made ’em:

If you had an abundance of M&M’s at your house, what would you make?
